" Mr. Williamson! We can't possibly take risks involving the scandalous incidents that are happening around you. Even your father is silent about everything. We don't think our project will be continued after all of this! I can't risk my company, can I?"Hearing Mr. Ken who has been working with Williamson company for years, Marquis scoffs bitterly. " You are definitely right, Mr. Ken. We should watch out for those who can't wait to bite the hand that feeds us. Anyway, here is our contact termination paper. Please sign it. I have already done the signing. Can't wait to wipe the dirt!"The middle-aged Businessman chuckles signs the papers immediately and stands up... " Don't think you can get back with your broken wings, young man. As I always advise you, Sell some shares of your company. I will pay you double the market price!"" Thank you so much for your concern about us. But I would rather go bankrupt than sell them to you. Have a good day!"Marquis's eyes get darker as he takes d
" I worked there for ten years. In that period, I watched what happened with masters who took me in. The accusations against the elder Master are wrong and fabricated." Marquis finally lets the Nanny appear in front of the press, after ensuring that Oryx will be fine as long as his people are around her. Now, the nanny is standing before, explaining everything slowly. The clicking sound, people chattering sounds and Cameras" flashing lights, everything make the environment serious." How will we trust your words? Maybe Williamson's family is forcing you to lie." One of the reporters questions, eyes are on Marquis and the old lady who pushes her eyewear..." I am actually amazed by today's generation. We didn't have any cameras available at that time, yet we didn't actually trust people blindly. You all just heard some rumors and started tormenting a family. That's a shame.-- Anyway, I got lots of letters collected from my Mistress of Williamson who entrusted me as secrets. Never tho
" Please Help!" Liliana, interlacing her fingers, crawls into a ball, her eyes are wide open as if she is frightened. Hearing her screaming, those two men walk towards her cell, pointing the gun..." What happened? Why are you screaming?" One of them yells, eyes scanning the cell. " This man... He wanted to attack me... But -"Hearing her words, their attention goes to the man, lying on his underwear, covered with blood. Both of them look at each other and glance at the person who is grunting repeatedly." We got an expired bastard. Be ready to send him away!" Another man talks to his Walkie-talkie.The strain of blood leaves on the floor as they drag him away. After their appearance faded away from her sight, Liliana grabbed the bucket of water and throws onto the floor to clean the place. " What just happened?" Oryx gets out, observing her cleaning the floor." They will send him home or kill him somewhere nearby the sea to make it suicide."" Suicide? This is a crime!"Liliana l
Her chest gets heavier, the more she listens to Liliana who has been explaining the entire truth from the beginning. Her heart is thumping against her chest, and her breath is getting stuck into her throat with a sharp and strong pain." You hurt my daughter before my eyes!" She clenches her fist, remembering everything that happened to Maria right before her eyes." Well, I did because that's what I was asked to do by him. Or he will kill my daughter!" Liliana speaks nonchalantly, however, Oryx's eyes are scaring her. " I will tear him apart. Just tear him apart for everything?" Oryx groans, standing up to leave the cell immediately. However, Liliana grabs her hand, stopping..." I want my daughter back, that's why I told you everything. So, don't -"" Seems like you two are having a great time!"Both of them startle, when a long shadow enters the cell, followed by a few guards. Oryx's eyes widen, and anger rushes through her veins as she stands up, locking her eyes on him..." I d
Even when it comes to the person who holds dearly in his heart, The strongest person finds themselves weakest among everyone. Ignoring the thousands of pleas from the team, William's begging for him to stay out of the area that is designated as a dangerous place, Marquis walks through the stairs to the tunnel. Every step of them is calculated and observed. Their IT team found out about Gallian heading here before they could reach it. So there is the possibility that Gallian has already set the trap anywhere to destroy them.Meanwhile, Marquis's heart is thumping, fighting to explode through his throat, leaving his chest heavier. His firm grip around the trigger of the gun, his alert steps or his prayer for Oryx to be fine, everything is evidence of fear. Marquis built a private but professional team to prevent any kind of business related to drugs and illegal substances which could affect his business, as soon as he took the position of CEO of his father's company. Since lots of ric
Marquis gulps down through his dry throat, as he walks towards Gallian, submitting the guns from his team to Gallian. Within five seconds, at least hundred of people surround the lighthouse as soon as he whistled for second time.His eyes are on Oryx who is unconscious and Maria who is red because of fear and anxiety. His eyes lock Maria's who is expecting her father to get rid of the painful tape around her mouth. However, Marquis's bitter smile gives her less hope.But, Marquis's eyes widen when his gaze settles on Maria's tiny hand. Her thumbs up on this situation, brings a smile on his face. " What's your deal? Everyone's gun is here on the floor!"He said, walking forward. Everyone has thrown their weapons away as soon as Gallian threatened them. Now, Marquis is ready to know what kind of deal he is proposing to.Gallian, in the meantime, enjoys Marquis's situation. Standing up, he grabs Oryx's hair that he cut earlier and throws it on him. " A very simple deal. Between us. If
Five cars left the area as soon as possible since the darkness engulfed the melancholic evening. Maria was so scared that she didn't talk much. Oryx was still unconscious because of the electric shock. However, in the middle of everything, a soul stays behind, unknown his reasons to stay a little longer in this sacred place. The view is undeniably beautiful. The ocean waves remind him of the fresh, bleeding and agony of heartbreak. The enraged roars of the ocean remind him that, once upon a time, a young girl trapped him in her enchanting beauty and left him like a used material. As he steps onto the cold sand, recalling the past, the slaps of wind keep him unable to hold his eyelids. They want to shut with the breeze of evening.However, his eyes somehow fix on something beautiful. A soft scent of flowers hits his nostrils, making him gulp with hesitation..." I am not hallucinating again, Am I?"A beautiful figure, looking skinnier than he remembers, standing in the water, her ey
Author's P. O. V..." So are you calm enough to hear me out?" Marquis holds her hands, gently stroking them as Oryx is too stubborn to listen to his explanation. Her trust in him is long gone after he killed Ben. " Go ahead!" She speaks coldly, resting herself on the couch like a queen. Marquis nods, sitting next to her. " First of all, I didn't kill Ben. Second, Ben isn't Dead!" he calmly speaks, trying to read her reaction. Oryx's eyebrows clutch, as she straightens her back. " Don't Joke!" she mutters. " No. I am not joking. I swear. I don't know how much you learned about Gallian's identity. But, the CCTV footage you saw on that day was half of the real footage. And I ordered my man to delete the entire footage. But it was too late for him to do!" " Why do I have to know about Gallian for this? Is he connected with this murder?" She asks stopping Marquis. " Yes. The person who set the fire on the shop is one of Gallian's men. Ben found his identity through Liliana's accoun
